A Terrebonne Parish resident has pleaded guilty to charges related to illegal drug and firearm possession. Acting U.S. Attorney Michael M. Simpson announced that Quincey McKinley, 46, entered the plea before U.S. District Judge Lance M. Africk on November 18, 2025.
McKinley admitted to possessing with intent to distribute controlled dangerous substances and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The charges stem from violations of federal statutes governing narcotics and firearms offenses.
Court records indicate that authorities executed multiple search warrants at two residences associated with McKinley, where they found significant quantities of methamphetamine, fentanyl, cocaine, and several firearms. Due to a previous felony conviction, McKinley is barred from owning or possessing firearms.
Sentencing is set for March 4, 2026. For the drug offense, McKinley could face up to twenty years in prison, a fine as high as $1 million, and at least three years of supervised release. The firearm charge carries a maximum sentence of fifteen years imprisonment, up to a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release. Both counts require a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.
Acting U.S. Attorney Simpson commended the efforts of the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office and Homeland Security Investigations in this case. Assistant United States Attorney Stuart Theriot from the Narcotics Unit is prosecuting the matter.
The prosecution falls under Operation Take Back America—a national initiative by the Department of Justice focused on combating illegal immigration and dismantling cartels and transnational criminal organizations through collaboration among various task forces.
